when installing indoor coil from an air conditioner or heat
pump system.
Refer to instructions supplied with accessory equipment.
Over-the-Floor Return Air System (Non-
Ducted)
1. If floor underneath furnace is made of combustible
material, locate a pan fabricated of non-combustible
material with 1” upturned flanges under furnace return
air opening. See
2. Use optional upflow stand (P/N 904620A) with filters or
construct a suitably braced mounting platform in closet.
See
3. Route 240V supply circuit(s) and 24V wiring to closet.
for appropriate locations.
4. Position optional coil cabinet onto upflow stand or
mounting platform and secure with three or more
fasteners.
5. Position furnace in upflow mode onto coil cabinet and
